Senior cats and quality cat health
06 Jan 2010
Adult senior cats should have high-quality cat food to keep their energy levels at the height they should be for this important time in their lives.
A senior cat will require good quality cat nutrition to maintain and repair their body tissues. The portions of cat food given at mealtimes should vary accordingly to the amount of size and activity levels a cat has.
At Hills Pets UK, we recognise the activity levels vary from cat to cat which affect the amount of calories they should be consuming. With our Hill’s� Science Plan� you can be sure you’ll be feeding nutrition that will help keep your pet healthy.
Feeding your cat with the correct portion control for quality cat nutrition can be based on a few special tips as listed below:
� Cats have a normal activity level with what is termed as maintenance energy. A pampered cat that lies around all day would require ten per cent less maintenance, while cats that are still energetic and active may require extra maintenance by up to 20 or even 40 per cent
� Cat health is helped by making sure your cat has enough fresh water in a clean cat bowl every day
� All cats large or small are carnivores and they require an amino acid called Taurine. Taurine is found in meat and is an essential ingredient required for normal functioning of the heart, clear vision and reproduction
� Cat health can be partly determined by hot and cold weather, just like that of humans. Both keeping cold or warm through the different seasons of a year is essential and that is another reason why balanced cat nutrition matters
� Obviously, cat requirements will vary depending on the size of the cat and its natural appetite should be influenced by its bulk. Appropriate portion size can be measured by the condition of the cat
